NO

I'd consider so long as you don't mind the relatively softer metal for a daily piece.

lord91 · 9 July 2017, 11:16 PM

Nope, wouldn't flip them

Snow-Dweller · 9 July 2017, 11:18 PM

Go for the BLRO, but try to keep one SS piece as well.

m j b · 10 July 2017, 12:28 AM

I'd get the blro but keep the sub.

psv · 10 July 2017, 12:36 AM

I would.

RichM · 10 July 2017, 02:07 AM

Keep the SubC and flip the BLNR. If the money would be an issue, look for a gently used BLRO to save some cash.

I did that when I bought my 116619.

The BLRO is a great stand alone reference, but having a Sub and GMT is the way I'd go.

Let us know how you make out.

Listen to Dr Tom! I started out with 8 rolexes... hulk; BLNR; tt bluesy; tt gmt2; milgauss gv and z blue GV; deep blue DSSD; YM blue....got rid of all of them... now wear daily a blro and smurf...never looked back...next up platona

My point is WG as a daily wear works...the heft and warmth...you won't regret it.

I would flip those for a BLRO and I would for a smurf as well. Those are my favorite WG Rolex's.

sea-dweller · 10 July 2017, 03:35 AM

I would not.

encarter13 · 11 July 2017, 12:59 AM

I agree with this!!

Before doing it, try it on for comfort, I found it to be surprisingly heavy on my wrist. Of course solid WG would be heavier than SS.
I do love the piece also the Smurf.

Easy answer ... gold > steel

Since I can only wear one watch at a time, I'd rather have one great one than three or six good ones. It all depends on how much you value variety, and how much you would appreciate a PM Rolex.

I know the answer for me, but only you know the answer for you.

First - make sure you try it in person. The colors are a little bit different than what we all think when we think "Rolex Pepsi".

Second - I'd really think about keeping the SubC or trying to get an Explorer 1/steel DJ as a SS piece to add to it.
